Where Lava Meets Spa Day
This aerial view of Iceland’s famous Blue Lagoon looks like a splash of neon blue cutting through the rugged black lava fields. Located in the Reykjanes Peninsula, not far from Reykjavik, the Blue Lagoon is one of the country’s top attractions. It’s famous for its milky-blue waters, which come from geothermal seawater rich in minerals like silica and sulfur.
The lagoon isn’t just for soaking, though—it’s a full-on spa experience with treatments that make you feel like a whole new person. Picture yourself lounging in a natural hot tub, surrounded by volcanic rock, and maybe even slathering on a silica mud mask.
